The full nominee list for the 55th Annual CMA Awards was announced this morning both for broadcast as well as entertainment. Winners will be announced in and around the live broadcast of the awards ceremony on ABC on Nov. 10.
Congratulations to all of the nominees! (Note: Our entertainment winner picks are marked with an asterisk and not necessarily who we'd LIKE to win but who probably will win. It's kinda weird not seeing Luke Bryan or Keith Urban up for Entertainer of the Year this time.)
